Subject:

Principal Display Panel, Carton image, Label image, PDP

Question:

Principal Display Panel (carton, label) - where is it placed in the SPL?

Answer:


Due to the receipt of several SPL documents submitted via the eList system with incorrect placement or omission of images of the representative sample of carton/container label(s) in the appropriate SPL content of labeling (major, not subsection) section identified as "Package.Label Principal Display Panel," a new technical validation procedure has been added.

The validation procedure is: "There must be a section with the code 51945-4 (carton/container label)." The code "51945-4" is the LOINC associated with the (major) section heading "Package.Label Principal Display Panel."

Subject:

Image Size

Question:

Is there a limit on file size for a JPG (JPEG) submitted in an SPL?

Answer:


Due to the receipt of several listing SPL documents submitted via the eList system with image file sizes over 1 MB, a new technical validation procedure has been added.

The validation procedure is: The size of each image file referenced in a listing SPL files should be under 1 MB in size.

In addition, please ensure that the images can be viewed on a computer screen without scrolling. Also, ensure that you are sending actual jpeg files and not another type of image file which has a file name with a file extension inappropriately replaced with "jpg."
